Sport
981

All over red rover

982

Clare will ate Cork up without Salt.

983

Niall Moran lucky to get away with that!!

984

Hope so man, hope so. If Clare didn’t fuck up against Cork (Honan miss, Conlon injury didn’t help) they would have won Munster

985

Two cheap shots by Niall Moran so far.

986

Red Neck Hicks 1-22
Pants Shitters 0-18

UP THE FUCKING BANNER!!!~!!!

987

Paddy Power are paying out on Cork apparently

988

Clare currently 5/4 to win the All Ireland, lump on lads.

989

Spancil Hill ringing around Croker. Better than that shite special Olympics song anyway.

990

Colin Ryan’s free taking lethalness have to give Clare a hell of a chance.

JBM will no doubt be trying to limit the number of frees given away.

Great aul tune

992

Clare are incredible.

993

What are you insinuating?

994

Clare were ok but conceded 18 points and at least as many missed scoring chances again against a team who were absolutely shocking and despite having an extra defender.

I’d reserve my judgment on this performance for now. They will improve again between now and the final and they have every chance. Smashing bunch of young players and fair fucks to Davy

I believe what he meant to say was… “yearra, sure this Clare this incredible,… yearra, sure we won’t keep it pucked out to them”… typical cute Cark hoorism.

996

Congrats to Clare best team on the day!

Agreed. Limerick made it too easy for Clare at times. We can take a lot of positives out of this, but will need to be more cynical and tighter in 3 weeks time, and there is room for improvement. I’m sure this isn’t lost on Davy.
Cork have to be favourites,

We do play some Champagne hurling though when we get going, which is a treat to watch.

  • That went pretty much as I expected;
  • Clare’s touch, composure, movement, skill and speed was a level above Limerick;
  • Again, the 7 backs tactic worked a treat and Pat Donnellan mopped up an awful lot of ball;
  • Tony Kelly gave an absolute exhibition in midfield and trampled all over Limerick in the middle third;
  • Colin Ryan’s touch and striking was sublime - between him and Kelly for MoTM in my view;
  • Collins was also quite influential in his centre forward role;
  • I was impressed with Clare’s response when Limerick closed the gap in the second half;
  • They didn’t buckle or panic and invariably work a neat score or two in response;
  • They sprayed the ball around really well for the most part, choosing the correct option and releasing the ball at the right time;
  • Great workrate from their 5 forwards too, even though they were outnumbered;
  • Clare are fucking great.

Great banter between Davy Fitzgerald and John Mullane on RTE Radio after the game too. :clap:
